Jeremiah 30:1
英文原文
In Jeremiah 30-39, not all written at the same time, are gathered together whatsoever God had revealed to Jeremiah of happier import for the Jewish people. This subject is "the New covenant." In contrast then with the rolls of Jehoiakim and Zedekiah, we here have one containing the nation's hope. A considerable portion was written in the 10th year of Zedekiah, when famine and pestilence were busy in the city, its capture daily more imminent, and the prophet himself in prison. Yet in this sad pressure of earthly troubles Jeremiah could bid his countrymen look courageously onward to the fulfillment of those hopes, which had so constantly in his darkest hours comforted the heart and nerved the arm of the Jew. The scroll consists of three portions:
(1) "a triumphal hymn of Israel's salvation," Jeremiah 30-31;
(2) Jeremiah 32; and
(3) Jeremiah 33.

Jeremiah 30:2
「写在书上」 - 好让他们私下阅读、默想。这使人极有可能认为，这两章的写作日期同样是在西底家第十年，即在从哈拿篾手中买下那块田地之后不久。
「一切话」 - 意即这书卷要成为先前诸预言中所包含的一切盼望与怜悯的概述。
英文原文
Write ... in a book - To be read and meditated upon by them in private. This makes it exceedingly probable that the date of these two chapters was also the 10th year of Zedekiah, immediately after the purchase of the field from Hanameel.
All the words - i. e., the scroll was to be a summary of whatever of hope and mercy had been contained in previous predictions.

Jeremiah 30:5
以页边译法为佳。先知把他的听众置于巴比伦的中心，描绘当古列(Cyrus)的大军逼近时，全城被恐怖震撼的情景。「战惧的声音」乃是逼近的军队所发的战争呐喊；而「不平安」则暗示：甚至在被掳之人中间，面对这座他们长久居住之城将要被毁的前景，也只剩下惊恐。
英文原文
Better, as in the margin. The prophet places his hearers in the center of Babylon, and describes it as convulsed with terror as the armies of Cyrus draw near. The voice of trembling is the war-cry of the advancing host: while fear and no peace implies that even among the exiles there is only alarm at the prospect of the city, where they had so long dwelt, being destroyed.
7
Jeremiah 30:7
「那日」 - 即巴比伦陷落之日。
「这正是雅各遭难的时候」 - 更恰当的译法是：「这是雅各遭难的时期」，即对犹太人而言是惶恐不安的时期，因为当时战争的惯例极为残暴，敌人发动攻击时他们也会有性命之虞。
英文原文
That day - i. e., the day of the capture of Babylon.
It is even the time of Jacob's trouble - Rather, and it is a time of trouble to Jacob, i. e., of anxiety to the Jews, for the usages of war were so brutal that they would be in danger when the enemy made their assault.
8
Jeremiah 30:8
「绳索」 - 见 Jeremiah 27:2 注。
「不得再使你作他们的奴仆」 - 意即：不再向他强征苦役（Jeremiah 22:13）。
英文原文
Bonds - See Jeremiah 27:2 note.
Shall no more serve themselves - i. e., shall no more exact forced labor of him Jeremiah 22:13.
9
Jeremiah 30:9
「他们的王大卫」 - 见 Jeremiah 23:5-6；即指弥赛亚。
英文原文
David their king - See Jeremiah 23:5-6; i. e., Messiah.
10
Jeremiah 30:10
有人认为这两节的风格与以赛亚书末后二十七章十分相似。然而，「向列国追讨净尽」与「以色列永不至如此灭亡」这确据之间的对比，乃是耶利米最常论及的题目之一。
英文原文
These two verses are considered by some very similar in style to the last 27 chapters of Isaiah. The contrast, however, between the full end made with the pagan, and the certainty that Israel shall never so perish, is one of Jeremiah's most common topics.
11
Jeremiah 30:11
「从宽惩治」 - 参看 Jeremiah 10:24 注。
英文原文
In measure - See the Jeremiah 10:24 note.
12
Jeremiah 30:12
「无法医治」 - 即致死的、致命的。
英文原文
Incurable - Mortal, fatal.
13
Jeremiah 30:13
「使你包裹」 - 另有人在「缘故」后断句，译作「为要包裹你的伤，你却没有医治的膏药」。
英文原文
That thou mayest be bound up - Others put a stop after "cause," and translate, For binding thy wound, healing plaster thou hast none.
14
Jeremiah 30:14
「因……众多」——或作：
因你的罪孽众多， 因你的罪恶重大。
犹大的「情人」是指那些一度寻求与她结盟的列国（见 Jeremiah 22:20; Jeremiah 27:3）。
英文原文
For the multitude ... - Or,
Because of the multitude of thine iniquity,
Because thy sins are strong.
Judah's lovers are the nations which once sought her alliance (see Jeremiah 22:20; Jeremiah 27:3).
15
Jeremiah 30:15
可译作：
你为何因你的损伤哀号？
因你的疼痛剧烈？
因你的罪孽众多，
因你的罪恶强盛，
我便将这些事加于你身上。
英文原文
Translate it:
Why criest thou because of thy breaking?
Because thy pain is grievous?
Because of the multitude of thine iniquity,
Because thy sins are strong,
I have done these things unto thee.
16
Jeremiah 30:16
「所以」 - 意即因为你已经受了刑罚，并在自觉有罪之中呼喊。
英文原文
Therefore - i. e., Because thou hast undergone thy punishment and cried out in consciousness of thy guilt.
17
Jeremiah 30:17
「使你痊愈」 - 或作“缠上绷带”（见 Jeremiah 8:22 注释）。“他们曾称呼”应读作“他们称呼”。
英文原文
Restore health - Or, "apply a bandage" (Jeremiah 8:22 note). For they called read "they call."
18
Jeremiah 30:18
先知以犹大为教会的预表，以以马内利为她的王。
Jeremiah 30:18
「帐棚」 - 此词暗示百姓中仍有相当一部分是游牧民。
「城……宫」 - 或作“各城……各宫”。“山”指人工堆筑的土墩，用以使城免于水患，并增强防御工事的力量。
「照样居存」 - 更好的译法是“必按其权益有人居住”，即相宜地有人居住。
英文原文
The prophet speaks of Judah as the type of the Church, with Immanuel as her king.
Jeremiah 30:18
tents - The word suggests that a considerable portion of the people were still nomads.
The city ... the palace - Or, each city ... each palace. The heap means an artificial mount to keep the city out of the reach of inundations, and to increase the strength of the fortifications.
Shall remain after the manner thereof - Rather, shall be inhabited according to its rights, i. e., suitably.
19
Jeremiah 30:19
「他们」 - 指城与宫。末后的几个词应译作“变为寡少、变为卑微”，即被藐视、被轻看。
英文原文
Them - i. e., the city and palace. Render the last words, become few become mean, i. e., despised, lightly esteemed.
21
Jeremiah 30:21
可译作：“他的尊贵者必从他而出，他的掌权者必从他中间出来……谁敢担保自己的心，即以自己的性命为质，就近我呢？”意即“弥赛亚必从他们自己的中间向他们显明”。祂能够毫无死亡之惧地亲近神，因为祂本有神的形像，自己就是神，可以声称与神同等（Philippians 2:6）。
英文原文
Translate, And his glorious one shall spring from himself, and his ruler shall go forth from his midst ... who is this that hath pledged his heart, i. e., hath staked his life, to dealt near unto Me? i. e., "Messiah shall be revealed to them out of their own midst." He can draw near unto God without fear of death, because being in the form of God, and Himself God, He can claim equality with God Philippians 2:6.
22
Jeremiah 30:22
这是弥赛亚事工所生的果效。人必须先有一位从他们中间被显明出来——他既是人，又因同样是神而能亲近神，从而能在隔开有限与无限的鸿沟之上架起桥梁——然后人才能成为神的子民。
英文原文
This is the effect of Messiah's ministry. Men cannot become God's people, until there has been revealed one of themselves, a man, who can approach unto God, as being also God, and so can bridge over the gulf which separates the finite from the Infinite.
23
Jeremiah 30:23
请参较旁注。这几节若归入下一章更为妥当，因为它们构成了该章合适的引言。
英文原文
Compare the marginal reference. These verses would more appropriately be attached to the next chapter, for which they form a suitable introduction.
耶利米书 30-39 章并非都写于同一时期，其中汇集了神向耶利米所启示、关乎犹太民族更美好前景的一切信息。这一主题就是「新约」。因此，与约雅敬和西底家年间的书卷相对照，我们在这里看到的是一卷承载着民族盼望的书。其中相当一部分写于西底家十年，那时饥荒与瘟疫正在城中肆虐，城被攻陷的日子日益迫近，先知本人也身在狱中。然而，在属地患难如此沉重的压逼之下，耶利米仍能劝勉同胞勇敢地展望这些盼望的成就——这些盼望在犹太人最黑暗的时刻，曾不断地安慰他们的心、坚固他们的臂膀。
这书卷由三部分组成：
(1) 一首「以色列救恩的凯旋之歌」，即 Jeremiah 30-31；
(2) Jeremiah 32；以及
(3) Jeremiah 33。
